Dark yellow, strong-smelling Urine

Urinating less often than usual

Feeling dizzy or lightheaded

Being drowsy or irritable

 

If you are being sick or have diarrhoea and are losing too much fluid, you need to put back the sugar, salts and minerals your body has lost. A pharmacist can recommend oral rehydration solutions. These can be powders you mix with water to drink. Ask your pharmacist which rehydration solutions are right for you or your child.
